Ouch! That looks painfull!

Here you see a picture of my sister-in-law's ankle and lower leg. This "screw - job" for lack of better terms, is the result of a not so fun ride down her stairs. While walking down her stairs holding her 1 year old baby she mis- judged a step and went down. Doing what all good mothers do she protected her child from the fall and took the brunt of the hit.
The good news is the baby is fine. The bad news is that Darcee was in surgery an hour after the accident having what was left of ankle and lower leg screwed back together. This happened last Thursday and she has been in the hospital ever since. The doctors say it is going to take about a year to fully recover.
The Richards family wishes you the best and hope you get better soon. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. We love you Darcee! Get well soon!
